Generic function CONNECT

Package:

GODB

Syntax:

  connect go handle db spec connection
  => term-object
  

Arguments and Values:

go handle---an object of type go handle

db spec---a string

(optional) connection--- a string

Description:

The generic function connect sets up a connection to an underlying GO database for the handle. It takes two parameters, go handle, to preserve one's session, and dp spec a database connection string. There is another optional parameter, connection, which takes an existing connection. a TERM object.

Known Methods:

•   connect (go-handle-object go-handle) (dp-spec string)
    => term-object
    

•   connect (go-handle-object go-handle) (dp-spec string) &optional (connection (sqlcon))
    => term-object
    

  This uses the method sqlcon in place of a connection string.  In this case, db spec would be the null string, "".

Examples:

cl-prompt: (godb:connect mygohandle "data source name/user/password")
#<GODB:GO-HANDLE 2061155C> connecting as "data source name/user"
#<SQL::ODBC-DATABASE "data source name/user" 205F450C>
